FULL HOUSE'S TYCOON TOTS

The Olsen twins of Full House are normal 7-years-olds, except they're rich, rich, rich!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the cute-beyond-measure, sparkle-eyed twins who share the role of Michelle on ABC's Full House, act just like any other 7-year-old girls. They are shy around strangers, giggly when left to themselves. They share secrets. They like ice cream and ponies and swimming-pool slides. And, like most little girls, they fidget when they're sleepy and pout when they're angry.
"I want a tiger, Daddy," Mary-Kate kept saying, over and over, squirming in the back seat of...

By 2002, the British edition of PR Week (November 1, 2002) claimed that mary-kateandashley was the "number one girl's brand in the U.S.," and the brand was on its way to being a juggernaut in Great Britain as well. The Jackie Cooper PR company launched an extensive campaign, building up British girls' awareness of the Olsens, who had long been shown in re-runs in the United Kingdom. The Olsens landed in England in April to do press appearances. Their clothing lines were sold in the United Kingdom at the chain George at Asda. (George at Asda is part of Asda, a British subsidiary of Wal-Mart.)...

olsen love

posted by hollym478

I love the olsen twins and their fashion line. I think they should not give up their careers and their marvellous footwear. I love their footwear. And Wikipedia has helped me to get to know about the twins. I so found out they posed nude on playhouses. Most people said it was ashley olsen. My opinion to the twins is that they should get to know about they fans and the fans talents. The best things about the twins is that they songs have an effect and are well thought out. Their movies are great for kids and teens. They think thing's out before doing/saying it.

The girls were born in 1986 in Sherman Oaks, California to David Olsen[3] (b. 1953) and Jarnette (Jarnie) Fuller (b. 1954).

In 1987, the twins started their acting careers on the television series Full House. They were hired at the age of six months and filming began when they were nine months old. The show was widely popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

GIRLS INCORPORATED

Girls Incorporated

They are to tweens what Martha Stewart is to American homemakers: arbiters of all that is right and good and stylish. But Mary-Kate (far right) and Ashley Olsen, 15-year-old twins from San Fernando Valley, are also budding tycoons, blithely ensconced atop a cross-platform fashion-and-entertainment empire. Having infiltrated every medium known to girls aged 6 to 14, the Mary-Kate-and-Ashley brand is poised to generate $ 1 billion in revenue in 2002. The twins'clothing-and-accessories line, purveyed exclusively through Wal-Mart, is on pace to eclipse Kmart's...

Ashley, you're dancing in the Nutcracker ballet tomorrow!" I said to my twin sister. "You're practically famous!"
I was sitting with Ashley and our friend Sarah in a corner of Madame Pavlova's dance studio. Ashley's ballet class practiced there every week. Tomorrow they would perform in the Pavlova Theater right next door!
"Come on, Mary-Kate." Ashley blushed. "I have a small part in the ballet. But I love being in the show."
"I wish I could be in the show too," Sarah said. She twirled a lock of her brown hair around her finger. "But I can't-all because of my dopey brother, Noah!"
Sarah is nine,...

Baby-sitter Blues

Ashley can't wait to go back to school.
The new school year means shopping for new clothes, meeting boys...shopping for more new clothes!
Her twin sister, Mary-Kate, thinks she's crazy.
Mary-Kate would much rather hit a softball than hit the mega-mall.
But they do agree on one thing:

They're way too old for a baby-sitter!

Too bad their dad doesn't see it the same way.
Now the twins need a plan--a plan to show Dad just how right they are!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been huge international stars since the age of 9 months, when they shared the role of Michelle in the sit com FULL HOUSE. With videos, video games, CDs, dolls, books, a fashion line and a magazine already under their belts in the US, they are poised to take over the UK market in 2002.

I love Mondays! Seventeen-year-old Jane Ryan thought as she sat at the kitchen table casually sipping her green tea and reading the morning edition of the Welling Pointe Post--her usual before-school routine.
She took in the headline on page three--Vandals Trigger Heightened Neighborhood Watch--and read the story. It seemed that affluent homeowners in the gated community of Stone Water Bend on Long Island, New York, were fed up with the slow police response to a recent rash of vandalism. Now the residents were taking the matter into their own hands.
"Vandalism?" she murmured. "Why would anyone...

Southern California, we have a problem. Big-time. Mary-Kate Olsen stood in the center of her bedroom, hands on her hips, her bright blue eyes doing a quick survey as she turned her head from side to side. At least she thought she was in the center of her room. It was kind of hard to tell, since the room itself was pretty much buried under all her... There was really only one word for it. Stuff, she thought. Not that that should be mistaken for a dis. It was all really great stuff. The trouble was, its overall greatness was part of the problem. Mary-Kate and her sister, Ashley, were leaving...

"Don't you just love Fridays?" Chloe Carlson asked, taking three cartons of frozen yogurt from the fridge to the kitchen table. "They're totally the best day of the week!" "Fridays are definitely good. But the best?" Tara Jordan, one of Chloe's closest friends, thought aloud as she plucked three spoons from the drawer. "I'd have to say the best days are Saturdays-no school." "Absolutely," Quinn Reyes, Chloe's other best friend, agreed. She plopped some napkins onto the table. "No getting up at the uncivilized hour of six on Saturdays." "Good point," Chloe said. "But once you hit Saturday, you...

Mary-Kate, Ashley, Rod, and Quincy hurried back to the dressing room. They heard voices and stopped in the doorway.
"Just sign this contract," a woman said.
The girls peeked into the dressing room. Dominique sat at her table. She seemed tired and upset.
Renee La Rouge stood beside her, holding a sheet of paper. "Sign here," she said. "And you will be in all of my commercials. You will tell everyone to buy my makeup."
Dominique rubbed her head. "I don't think I want to. . . ."
Renee pulled a red lipstick from her purse. She ran the lipstick over Dominique's lips, then put it back in her pocket....

You thought 'The Brady Bunch' ended?
Wrong. It's back - disguised as 'Full House.

THESE DAYS, IT has become commonplace to observe that there's an entire generation of American adults carrying around in its collective head the theme song and a few dozen vividly remembered episode of 'The Brady Bunch'. The series was a classic example of mass entertainment that bypass critical acclaim while shooting '70s youth with earnest but false banalities about the enduring strength of the nuclear family. The Bunch gave comfort both sincere and campy to its decade as no situation comedy ever has....

Tick, tick, tick. That's all I can hear. A clock ticking, quietly at first, then louder and louder... Tick tick tick... So loud it seems to echo inside my head.
Then I see where the sound is coming from--a giant clock. A clock as big as a house. I stare at it, confused. I blink and swallow hard. I'm all out of breath, but I don't know why. What time is it? I stare at the clock, but I can't read it. What do the dots mean? What do those long and short arms mean? I can't remember....
The clock disappears, and I'm in a long white hallway lined with unmarked doors. It's so cold I can see my breath.......
